Safety National Selects Guidewire Systems for Billing Management, Data, and Analytics
Guidewire BillingCenter, DataHub, and InfoCenter to improve billing processes and leverage data insights to
help staff better respond to policyholders
Safety National Casualty Corporation, a leading provider of specialized insurance and reinsurance solutions, and Guidewire
Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE), a provider of software products to Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers, today announced that
Safety National has selected Guidewire BillingCenter®, DataHub, and InfoCenter as its new billing management, data management, and
analytics systems. Guidewire PartnerConnect™ Consulting member Ernst & Young LLP has been selected to lead the
implementation.
BillingCenter, DataHub, and InfoCenter will replace Safety National’s internally-developed billing management system and data
warehouse. The products will be implemented concurrently with Guidewire ClaimCenter® and PolicyCenter, which the company selected
last year, and will be deployed nationwide to Safety National’s excess and surplus line of business first, followed by the casualty
and workers’ compensation lines of business.
“The ability to easily configure BillingCenter for existing and new lines of business was very attractive to us,” said Chris
Griffith, chief information officer, Safety National. “We are also excited about the prospect of using Guidewire DataHub and
InfoCenter as our primary source for data and look forward to extending their capabilities to our users.”
BillingCenter, DataHub, and InfoCenter will enable Safety National to:
- Provide a more seamless billing process integrated with PolicyCenter and third-party systems;
- Improve commission and payment processing;
- Improve the ease of doing business for staff by providing them with robust operational reporting
capabilities to access reports and conduct queries independently;
- Better map and convert data through the full InsuranceSuite product line; and
- Provide a single view of data to users across the organization, including claims, finance and
underwriting.
“The EY team is excited to work with Safety National on this next phase of their core system transformation,” said Rajcan
Surface, Principal, Ernst & Young LLP. “This has been a great example of how collective technology and business teams can work
together to enable a modern and flexible solution and drive value for both internal employees and the end customers.”
“We are honored that Safety National has extended its relationship with us through the selection of these additional products,”
said Ken Shapiro, group vice president, Americas Sales, Guidewire Software. “We are pleased to be working with EY to help Safety
National transform its billing and data processes to adapt and succeed in today’s rapidly-changing insurance marketplace.”
